Romans 9:15-23

Wesley(i) 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 It is not therefore of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 Moreover the scripture saith to Pharoah, For this very thing have I raised thee up, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through all the earth. 18 So then he hath mercy on whom he willeth, and whom he willeth, he hardneth. 19 But thou wilt say to me, Why doth he still find fault? 20 For who hath resisted his will? Nay, but who art thou, O man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, out of the same mass to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? 22 What if God, being willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, yet endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction? 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, whom he had before prepared for glory?
